I must have bought a lemon,

This review is from: Numark Axis 9 Tabletop CD Player (Electronics)
I don't know if my problem was typical or not, but I had an Axis 9 for less than a year before the display began to glitch and the player started taking longer and longer to cue. Before long, it stopped playing altogether. Mind you, it never left the bedroom - it wasn't dropped, shipped, or otherwise mistreated. I took it for repair at a reputable shop and was told it wasn't repairable. Bam - out 400 bucks.
Again- don't know if this is typical Numark quality or not, but I'm switching to Pioneer.
I will say, I did enjoy it while it worked. The effects were cool, and the re-start function allowed for some unique mixing. The short lifespan turneed me off unfortunately.

Great for starters and bedroom DJs,

This review is from: Numark Axis 9 Tabletop CD Player (Electronics)
Given the low price and loaded features, the Axis 9 has probably the highest value of any cd turntable currently on the market. It has solid performance with plenty of gadgets to keep you occupied. One problem which makes this turntable not suitable for professional use is the slight stutter when the key lock is in place. The problem is only slight and intermittent, but will drive you completely crazy if you are a perfectionist. Otherwise, for beginners and bedroom DJs this is the best cd turntable out there.

"Premium", but it's questionable whether it is professional,

5/22/2009:
I had the internal power supplies on my Axis 8s rebuilt locally for cheap and my tech used better caps, resistors, and other parts. The below mentioned freezes and cold-start callibrations are no longer valid in my case, though Numark should be scolded for using such low-tolerance pieces on such sophisticated designs.
The high frequency response is still troubling. If you have the 9's, try and utilize the digital outs.
----
First, a note on calibration. This is the procedure I've come up with:
1. Turn the unit on.
2. Switch to 6% pitch.
3. Start Numark's callibration by properly going through the pitch range.
4. Spin the wheel clockwise while pressing Loop 1 in/out/reloop and Loop 2 in/out.
5. Switch back to 6% pitch since it changes to 12%.
6. Go through the pitch range to ensure it is working properly. If it is not, turn the unit off, wait 5-10 seconds, then start over at #1 again.
